NFC East leader is 5-4 - yet our season still done by Oct

Sean : 11/11/2019 6:15 am
Think about that. A division leader that is 5-4 on 11/11, yet this team has been done for a month.

That is how low it has gotten & this is really a 1-9 team if not for a missed chip shot. It’s not like there are a handful of games which could have been wins if the ball bounced differently. This team is losing convincingly. Even in 2017, the Giants had some brutal breaks in their losses.

The more I stew on this, the more I think Gettleman needs to be fired with Shurmur.
You have to be pretty bad to be out of it by Thanksgiving

For this matter Halloween, and in a div were 5-4 is tops in division. This org has digressed plain and simple. I was hoping to see a 7-9, if lucky 8-8, season with signs of improvement and hope going forward. Instead, get same ol same ol year in year out. But, now worse, if thats even possible. Think about it, played a pathetic team Jets yesterday, that lost to Miami pretty easily, and whom have several injured players. Just embarrrassingly pathetic.

Pathetic seasons in a row. A once proud organization has become a bottom feeder. For the seventh time in eight years, there will not be a giants playoff game. Mara is reaping what he sowed by doing a lazy GM search and picking someone who had no business being an nil coach again.
I can't believe that despite the changes and the rookies that they

thought we would be going backwards this year from the last couple but we did. Either it's a poor job of judging players or it's the coaches.
That's the thing

it is one thing to be bad. Quite another to have every season over by Halloween and be absolutely dominated by two divison rivals with no end in sight.

It is not just being bad, it is worst franchise in the league level bad

Dont worry, Shurmur just needs more time.
As I’ve said for a long time

This roster is an abomination. That’s not on Shurmer, whose problems are well documented here. Gettleman should not be spared if Mara decides to make changes. This operation is actually worse today than the day they all walked through the door. If he were to survive, he’s going to assist Mara choose a HC and he’s going to be in charge of quite a bunch of FA dollars. Who here really trusts him with all those decisions? I sure as fuck don’t.
I highly doubt that we beat Miami

Much less win out.
Great point Sean

the sad thing is that throughout this brutal era of Giants football, the rest of the teams in our division haven't been lighting it up
Same thing happened last year

The NFC East was wide open and up for grabs, but we were just THAT terrible
If we had any semblance of a D

I think we'd have a shot, but that's not happening this year.
2010 to now

we are 68-86 (quick math so could be off a game here or there). We have been under .500 6 of the last 7 seasons (including this year).
Had the same thought yesterday.

If the Giants were even close to being a mediocre team, we'd be still be watching meaningful games.


I don't think it's appreciated how difficult it is in the NFL to be completely out of contention before Halloween--only 2 or 3 teams fit in this category--yet the Giants have pulled it off 3 years in a row.
2016 was an abberation

based or perhaps that was the last gasp of our SB MVP QB and the new HC wanted to move on (it sure seemed like he was doing everything possible to get Eli out of there) but Mgmt wouldn't let him.

The new coach, Shurmur is a guy who wants the HC job so bad he comes in all Eli can still win in this league and once again we go after the 2016 run but now we are missing the heart and energy of the 2016 Def FA signings. Eli, as expected struggles and once again the Giants now must decide what to do about him.

So, like before the Giants move forward, sort of, while keeping Eli in place and drafting his replacement. The team continues to falter in all areas that have been neglected for years.

DG- thge hog mollie king has gone after shiny parts while only take half measures with the Mollies.. Fail again!
